AIA Milwaukee offers a variety of PROGRAMS for our members, providing opportunities for knowledge sharing, networking, and continuing education learning units (CES LU).
PROGRAMS range from full-day seminars, lunch meetings, building tours, and study sessions, to events like Opening Doors which allow members behind-the-scenes access into architectural/ engineering/ construction firms, related businesses, and educational facilities. Through AIA Milwaukee PROGRAMS our members are able to form new connections outside the workplace, experience projects from an insider’s viewpoint, while they advance their career.
